This year, the Wanalea family celebrated the International Children's Day in a very special way. On June 1st 2014, a team of UCI, a company that supports ADDHU and this particular project, came to visit the Wanalea Children's Home...

In June 2014, we finished the construction of the Sondra Myers Library at the Wanalea Children's Home. It was a very special day for all of us and the outcome of ADDHU's local team's excellent and hard work.

It is now possible to support ADDHU’s feeding program in the slum and to sponsor the meals of a needy child for only 10 Euros per month! ADDHU’s new program “Feed a Child” allows anyone interested in helping these kids to make a lasting and positive difference in their lives by making monthly donations and ensuring the continuation of ADDHU’s life-saving food aid program.

ADDHU promotes workshop about the prevention and treatment of “jiggers” in the rural area of Kisii

Published: 25 July 2013

On the 26th of April 2013, ADDHU’s team travelled to the rural area of Kisii to promote a workshop about the prevention and treatment of “jiggers”, a skin infection that affects many people from the rural community of Kitutu and that can have serious consequences if left untreated.

This skin disease is caused by a parasite, that penetrates and lodges itself under the skin, causing an infection that can lead to gangrene, amputation, septicemia and even death. It is associated with the lack of proper hygiene and with being barefooted and not using shoes, namely the children.

After the workshop, during which ADDHU explained to the community the dangers of “jiggers” and how to prevent it, several people from the community were treated under the supervision and active collaboration of a doctor sent by the Public Health Department to support this initiative.
